Our beloved Allie might have cancer. She has developed a tumor in her lymph glands. After a two hour vet visit this monring, we know the following:
1) Her blood work shows high red blood cells and something else (hecratic something) that indicates a serious infection so may be that is what is causing the swelling. Her temperature is also elevated.
2) The xrays of her chest came back fine -- no metastes into her lungs
3. The biopsy will take place today and sent off. We will not know for a week
4. Cancerous tumors grow rapidly which might be why she went from no swelling to huge swelling so fast.
5. No surgical options are available for this -- would need to be chemo and/or radiation in Jacksonville.
So we will know February 2nd or so. . .keep her in your prayers and thoughts, please. She is only 8 years old and has a lot of life and love still to give. This has to be one of the saddest days. ;-(
